July Magazines – Freebies xxx

I was so happy when I was in my local Newsagent and saw that the top five Monthly magazines were offering free gifts!! So of course I had to buy them! Here’s the low down on what you get……

Magazine: Glamour Magazine

Cost: £2.00

Gift: One of four Clinique miniatures.

Thoughts: You can get either a moisturiser, a mascara or one of two Chubby Sticks.

I went to three different magazine retailers and all I could find was the Mascara and the Moisturiser. I plumped for the Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion+, because I’m obsessed with skincare but I may have bought more magazines if I could have gotten hold of the chubby sticks.

Inside the magazine itself there was also a sample Sachet of Garnier’s Moisture Match day cream for combination to oily skin, which I thought was nice too.

Magazine: Elle

Cost: £4.00

Gift: Malin & Goetz Travel Set (Worth £10)

Thoughts: I thought that the gift was quite substantial. It consisted of a Face Moisturizer, Grapefruit Face Cleanser and a Lip Moisturizer. Malin & Goetz is not a Brand that I have heard of before so I look forward to trying these products and seeing how they perform. These travel sizes are really good for when traveling too so I may save them as a little treat for when I go away. Inside the magazine there was also a sample of Garnier’s BB cream in shade Light that is just my shade :).

Magazine: Cosmopolitan

Cost: £3.70

Gift: Mascara or Lip & Cheek Tint by new CID

Thoughts: I Have also never heard of this Brand but I opted for the lip & cheek stain as I love products that have multiple uses. The shade is Plum Cordial and is a lovely light purple colour. The packaging is nice and the product smells sweet so I will have to try this out soon. Inside the magazine there was also a sample of Garnier’s BB cream so that’s two I have now.

Magazine: Marie Claire

Cost: £2.50

Gift: balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face Balm

Thoughts: I love trying out new skin care and as I said in a previous blog I love the concept of balance me and I like that I have another chance to try their products. The Magazine also came with a Double L’Oreal sample sachet consisting of a Thickness Booster & a Thickening Conditioner. There was also a Sachet of Garnier’s Moisture Match, this time for Normal Skin.
